Having a BF test in a couple days so I was surfing the net and stumbled across this finding it to be a decent read: https://spu.edu/scripts/old/old%20myhome/users/weathers/public_html/bodycomp.htm

If you’re capable, burpees and basic gymnastics tumbling and somersaults. Save your money and go out and eat a nice meal . . . after your minimalist backyard workout.

Awesome @salburda, I’m privately cheering for you as you chase your fitness, health and wellness goals. Keep marching forward!

Awesome, congratulations. Keep marching forward!

Always admire the posterior chain musculature of an Oly lifter. Trained in the lifts a dozen years ago and what a great experience and memory.

9/22/2019 - last day of summer at park half hour before noon and then high school track about one hour later. #1 - at park half hour before noon - alternating pull-ups and chin-ups - 27 rounds x 3 every 0:35 then 20 rounds x 2 as quickly as possible = 101 reps in 20:28. Current best is 20:03 but used different rep cadence.…

When I began my weight loss journey, I promised myself that nobody would sabotage my effort, NOBODY. I kept my word and mission was accomplished 7 months ago. Now, I’m solidly in maintenance and I’ve promised myself again that nobody is going to sabotage me maintaining, NOBODY. I hope my sharing is helpful to you. Wishing…

9/21/2019 - late afternoon. Pull-up hang hold - 1:06 (bad grip but still wouldn’t have matched 1:33 from earlier in week effort - known lifetime best is 2:08 long time ago.) Wall handstand hold - 0:50 (rusty first time in a long time - known lifetime best is 1:59 long time ago.)

Wishing you a great run.

Bumping this discussion because the last day of Summer is tomorrow and it's time for me to fess up and give an accountability report on how I did with my Summer 2019 fitness goals. I'm testing my one-mile run time tomorrow if all goes well and then having a body fat scan the middle of next week. Then, I'll post my report…

Obviously work in perfect technique but also use. KB wrist bands.

Hey @maverick4x4, thought you might enjoy this one where the person had his body fat percentage tested using two methods on the same day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMCcHFIArOk

Just stumbled across this video and thought of this discussion thread so decided to post this person's BF percentage test results on the same day using two methods: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMCcHFIArOk

Thanks for posting the link, I read the abstract only. I do better IF-style with a targeted 12:00 noon to 6:00 pm feeding period. We're all different. Thanks again.

9/20/2019 - at the beach - Late morning - superset #1 - double overhead press with 24kg KB (3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-4-4) plus #2 - BW-only walking lunges x 10 every 3:00 then closer of double overhead press with 20kg KB x 10 plus BW-only walking lunges x 20 - completed 11 rounds in 31:16. Walked around perimeter of workout area…

@heybales, I use Direct Labs. Type www. then their name with no space and then .com and you’ll be on their home page. They have monthly specials so when I see what I’m interested in, I’ll stock up. I use my HSA card to pay. They send you a requisition form that you take to your local lab. I use Quest. You go in just like…

I like: Alternating pull-ups and chin-ups (pull) with bar dips (push) for sub-max reps for any rounds. Another one is weighted alternating pull-ups and chin-ups with double overhead press. I’ve done others but the above are my current favorites. I use kettlebells for these, works for me.

WhenI was a younger fun runner capable of faster running than now, I would always take note of my HR as I was dashing to the finish line of a 10k fun run. I considered my highest reading to be my max. That was 185 bpm during my early 50’s. Now, at age 64, I’ve dialed it down to 180 bpm. Is it lower? I don’t know but do…

Work on shoulder flexibility and video your OHP from side view to evaluate form. You want a 100 percent northernly flight to lift the most. If you’re even slightly forward, you’ll make it harder.

Beastly! Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your strength and youth.

@heybales, have you ever considered ordering your own blood work and paying for it? That’s what I do. I’m self-employed and have a high-deductible health insurance plan and find it cheaper and easier to go this route. Besides, I never clear my deductible. I order various tests of interest to me every birthday. Last time…

I’ve done my fair share of hanging over a dozen years but with no regularity. Never ever thought of testing with a deadlift grip. My gut tells me it wouldn’t add much to total hang time. If I can remember, I’ll test in a couple days.

Thanks for continuing to share your journey. You're making good progress and look happy. Good for you. You do have some decent musculature but based on my experience with DXA-Scans, I don't judged that you're single digit in the BF percentage department. Like that old photo, think I partied with you in the good olden days.…

9/19/2019 - late afternoon at park - #1 - run slow 2 miles in 21:49. #2 - run at mile pace 1:00 slow jog recovery 1:00 - completed 8 rounds 1.68 miles in 16:02 - target mph pace for fast runs was 7:30 - actual rounds mph pace were 6:35, 7:32, 7:35, 7:57, 7:48, 7:16, 8:09 and 8:05. Missed my target pace for 6 out of 8…

@jhanleybrown, thanks for sharing your introductory experience which mirrors what those of us who practice IF know convincingly. Wishing you the best in your fitness, health and wellness journey. Keep marching forward!

I spend time in 90 percent land frequently but seldom go above 93 percent. I’ve determined my MHR based on lots of experience so, of course, I might be off a little. Never used those standard formulas to determine. I’d be under training if I did.

How about wall sits.

I put time in walking fast walks and learned that it takes total concentration walking fast or I end up back at a slower “whistling Dixie” pace.
